Christian Group urge Buhari to Pay more attention to Economic hardship faced by Nigerians

Following the economic hardship being experienced by Nigerians, the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to put in place cogent measures that will ease the suffering of citizens.

YOWICAN, in a press statement signed by its President, Daniel Kadzai and made available to journalists, on Sunday in Jos, also urged religious leaders to preach against corruption.

The statement while appreciating the efforts of Buhari in trying to stem corruption in all facets of the country, said there was need for the President to pay more attention to the growing economic hardship, unemployment, and non payment of salaries in some states.

The statement stressed that “the anti-corruption war as spearheaded by the Presidency must not be seen to be one sided based on political or sectional interests.”

It further urged the federal government to reflect the unity of the country by ensuring that there is equity and fairness in appointments.

“Men and women of honour and integrity abound in every religion, tribe or region capable of handling important government positions,” the statement advised.

While commending the federal government for curbing the incessant attacks by insurgents in the North-East, the statement stressed that more needed to be done to end the isolated cases of attacks especially in Borno State and Madagali LGA of Adamawa State
